from the Turrall Nymph Stalker Trout Fly Collection.

The Damsel Stalker Trout Fly is a highly effective pattern, renowned for its ability to mimic the natural movement of damselfly nymphs. Originating in the UK, this fly has become a staple in the fly boxes of anglers targeting trout in stillwaters. Its design features a slender olive body, marabou tail, and bead head, which together create an enticing action that trout find irresistible.
Known for its versatility, the Damsel Stalker can be fished at various depths and speeds, making it a go-to choice for both novice and experienced anglers. Its realistic appearance and movement make it particularly effective during the summer months when damselflies are abundant..

Damsel Stalker Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Damsel Stalker Trout Fishing Fly is most effective when used in still waters such as lakes and reservoirs. To maximise its effectiveness, employ a slow, steady retrieve to mimic the natural swimming action of a damsel nymph. Use a floating or intermediate line depending on the depth of the water.
For presentation, cast near weed beds or structures where damsel nymphs are likely to be found. Allow the fly to sink slightly before beginning the retrieve. Vary the speed and incorporate occasional pauses to imitate the erratic movement of a real nymph. This technique can trigger aggressive strikes from trout, especially during the warmer months when damsel nymphs are more active.

Key Seasons - when is this

Nymph Stalker Trout Fly

most effective?
The Damsel Stalker Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during late spring to early autumn, particularly from May to September. This period coincides with the peak of the damselfly hatch, making it an ideal time to mimic their natural prey. The fly works best in warm, sunny conditions when damselflies are most active near the water's surface. During these months, focus on fishing in still waters like lakes and reservoirs where damselflies are abundant. Early mornings and late afternoons are prime times, as trout are more likely to be feeding actively on emerging insects.

How does the Turrall Damsel Stalker Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Damsel Stalker Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the nymph stage of the damselfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. This fly imitates the slender, elongated body and vibrant colours of the damselfly nymph, which is highly active in the water. During the warmer months, these nymphs emerge from the water to transform into adult damselflies, making them a prime target for trout. Fish are particularly drawn to this stage due to the nymphs' abundance and their slow, vulnerable movement as they swim towards the surface, providing an easy and nutritious meal.
